Liho LLM models in Liho IDE

Liho IDE has a built-in Liho LLM plugin. After you sign in through the browser, the IDE creates a model connection for its agents by itself, with no API key to copy. The ruble balance is shown right in the IDE.

What you need

  • Liho IDE 2.3 or later.
  • A Liho LLM account (you can create one while signing in) and a positive balance.
  • The “AI Agents” plugin turned on. Built-in plugins are on by default.

Steps

  1. Open the project

    The Liho LLM sign-in belongs to the current project: another project does not get it automatically. Open the folder of the project you will work in.

  2. Open the Liho LLM popover

    Click the Liho LLM icon in the lower-left corner. The account popover opens over the workbench.

  3. Sign in through the browser

    Sign-in and sign-up open in the system browser. Sign in or create an account, allow access for Liho and return to the IDE. Closing the popover does not cancel a sign-in in progress; reopen the popover to continue it.

  4. Choose a model

    The Liho LLM connection appears under “AI Agents → Model connections” by itself. Choose a model from the Liho LLM catalog; you do not type an API key.

  5. Keep an eye on the balance

    The Liho LLM popover shows the available amount, the balance and the held funds in rubles. “Top up balance” opens the dashboard in the browser. After topping up, click “Refresh balance” or reopen the popover.

  6. Work with the agent

    The Liho agent uses this connection in the chat and for code edits. How to give it a change and review it is covered in a separate guide.

  7. Sign out when you no longer need the connection

    On sign-out the IDE revokes the device key and removes only the Liho LLM connection; other providers’ connections stay. Device keys are listed in the dashboard under “API keys”: if the IDE could not revoke a key, revoke it there.

What you get

  • A Liho LLM model connection for the IDE’s agents with no key typed by hand.
  • Balance, held funds and the available amount in rubles, right in the IDE.
  • Request history and costs in the Liho LLM dashboard, under “Logs”.

Limits

  • The connection belongs to the project: sign in again in another project.
  • The balance can be topped up only in the Liho LLM dashboard.
  • Liho LLM is one possible connection. The IDE also works with OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI and other OpenAI-compatible gateways.
  • Liho LLM accepts requests only in the Chat Completions format. Tools that need the Anthropic protocol (/v1/messages) or the Responses API cannot use it directly.
